Thinking that the little kids in the tribe had nothing to do all day long, it would be no big deal for them to pick up stones for Wang Zheng instead of running around every day. Anyway, this place was not far from the tribe, so Luo Xiaomei agreed to Wang Zheng's conditions.

"It's very simple. Just use a clay pot or something else to put the tung nuts in, add some water and boil it. You can definitely boil out the tung oil."

"Is it that simple?"

Luo Xiaomei opened her eyes wide and looked at Wang Zheng in disbelief, wanting to know whether what Wang Zheng said was a lie.

Tung nuts have a low oil content. If you refine them like you would lard, you are guaranteed to only get a handful of ash, and you won't even be able to see any oil spots. However, if you boil them in water, tung oil can be boiled out and float on the water surface.

In fact, no matter what kind of oil you refine, boiling it in water is the best way. Even if it is lard, directly adding water and boiling it will ensure that it is white and abundant.

"You use such a simple method to make all the little kids in our family do so much work for you, isn't that too much?

Wang Zheng was a little speechless when he saw Luo Xiaomei's pitiful appearance. "Why don't you take them to get the tung oil out first, and then buy some delicious food after selling it? Otherwise, don't worry about it. I'll let Zhang San come and do it. I guarantee that all the little kids will happily help me move the stones, and I can make some money. Do you believe it?"

Before Li Si finished speaking, someone came up to ask, Jiangxin Island is only two or three miles away, and can be seen directly from the market, so everyone is familiar with it.

"I can think of a way to make yellow paper. The main thing is that the raw materials are convenient. I hope Mr. Cheng can help collect some. All I need is reeds, thatch, and straw. The price is negotiable."

"Hahaha, brother, I'm so happy that you can come back so soon. Now everything is fine. Should we increase the production of yellow paper?"

"As long as the conditions are right, you can do anything. I don't distinguish between Han and Ba people here. After you come to the island, you'd better not form a group to cause trouble, otherwise you will suffer the consequences. As long as you work hard, you will naturally get benefits after the one-year period is up."

"Brother, you are so generous. It seems that I have to cooperate with you in making preparations. The raw materials are easy to deal with, but other things may be difficult to deal with. There are plenty of reeds and straw, so there is no need for money. Brother, just give me all the yellow paper to sell in the future."

There are so many ways to make money. Instead of keeping the secret and letting others keep snooping, it is better to make a quick buck and then publish the secret method casually. It is not good to keep such civilian things tightly in your hands.

"No problem. Just tell me how many people you need and I can get them for you. I guarantee their safety."

"That's exactly what I meant." Wang Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "But I don't have many people on hand, so I need Mr. Cheng to help me."

Zhang San held up a broken gong and knocked it three times. After everyone's attention in the market was attracted, Li Si shouted at the top of his voice.

"That's no problem. We'll just do business with the familiar rather than the new. As long as Mr. Cheng doesn't feel like he's losing money, that's fine."

The main question asked was, "Do you provide food, accommodation and adequate food?"

In fact, the Han and Ba people have lived together for a long time, and intermarriage is not uncommon. But there are always people like Luo Wu who live alone in their own tribe, and there are also some who lead a primitive hunting life in the deep mountains and forests. These are actually not very important.

Wang Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to her. The little girl's attempts to take advantage of him were endless.

After the deal was settled, Wang Zheng began to recruit a large number of people. He did not only recruit Ba people as Cheng Bokang thought, but openly recruited workers at the market. Anyone who met the requirements could come.

Otherwise, you can give me some extra money and food. Carrying stones is very tiring. If I don’t eat more, I won’t have the strength to carry them.”

"How stingy! He is the manager of the imperial manor, but he doesn't feel comfortable at all."

"Jiangxin Island Royal Manor is hiring. Food and accommodation are provided. The monthly salary is 100 coins for one year. Once you are hired, 1,200 coins will be paid in two installments. Half of it will be paid immediately, and the other half will be paid after one year.

"There's no need to keep it secret for a long time. There is no secret in the world that can be kept for a long time. It's enough to make some quick money in a year or two. One year at most. If Mr. Cheng wants to produce yellow paper himself in the future, just let me know."

"Can you wait a few days? My spring plowing isn't finished yet."

Not long after returning to Jiangxin Island, Cheng Bokang came to collect the yellow paper, and Wang Zheng rowed a bamboo raft across the river to meet him.

When Zhang San was shaving Li Si's hair with a sickle, Wang Zheng was trembling with fear just watching. When Li Si was shaving Zhang San's hair, Wang Zheng didn't even dare to watch, for fear of cutting his head off.

Requirements: Adult males who are healthy and strong and can live on Jiangxin Island for a full year. Only 100 people will be recruited, first come first served."

Cheng Bokang pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother, the manpower you mentioned is those Ba people, right? In this case, this secret method may be difficult to preserve for a long time, right?"

Cheng Bokang spoke generously, but Wang Zheng didn't want him.

The fundamental reason why the Han and Ba people cannot completely integrate is the hair issue. The Han people believe that their hair and skin are inherited from their parents, so they have long hair, while the Ba people think that short hair is convenient, cool, and does not breed insects.

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded, affirming, "Not only will you be full, but you'll also get a little meat with every meal. Not much meat, but you can have as much vegetarian food or rice as you want."

"Do you want the Han people or the Ba people?"

With Li Laoer's diligent efforts and the good weather in the Tang Dynasty in recent years, the price of grain has dropped to one cent per two kilograms. One hundred cents means two hundred kilograms of grain. This salary is not low, and it comes with food and accommodation, making it even more attractive.

These two concepts are fundamentally in conflict. In fact, Wang Zheng agrees with the Ba people's concept from the bottom of his heart, but if he wants to live a good life, Wang Zheng dare not cut his hair short, and it is very dangerous for the Ba people to shave their heads.

"You can wait for three days, but you have to wait three days before you can pay the people when they arrive at Jiangxin Island. Those who arrive first during these three days can get an extra fifty cents."

This was something Wang Zheng had planned long ago. He would use these three days to plan out Jiangxin Island. After all, hundreds of people would be living there in a year.

The house must be built and the tools must be prepared. There are many things that need to be done, so it is reasonable to give more money.

Recruiting a hundred or so people would not have much impact on this place. All the people were recruited in one hour, and there were only more than twenty Ba people.

Although Wang Zheng and Luo Wu have a good relationship, these ordinary Ba people still have some concerns about working for the Han people.
